Meanwhile, inside the Nanfeng Pavilion, a man of unparalleled beauty held a bag of silver coins in his hand.

A man was kneeling before him: "What are your orders, sir?"

The kneeling man was the owner of Nanfeng Pavilion, and at this moment, he looked at the man in front of him with respect and humility.

"As you said, we've succeeded in the first step. What's the next step?"

The poster paused for a moment, then, thinking about what the other person had learned, patiently said, "Next, we need to create opportunities to spend time together and see her more often. But I don't understand why an adult would go to such lengths."

Shen Zhao spoke calmly, but his eyes were exceptionally firm: "What I want is for her to like me."

Being together isn't enough for him; he wants both physical and emotional fulfillment.

The other party paused for a moment, then spoke again: "Then I will immediately go and inquire about the young lady's whereabouts for you, sir."

Shen Zhao nodded, and the other person quickly and obediently went downstairs.

…

Wan Ge never expected that she would run into him again so soon.

She hasn't been in a particularly good state since returning a few days ago. After discussing it with her father, she decided to sever all ties with the Crown Prince.

The crown prince came to see her twice, but she did not meet him.

Although her father never asked her why, she could sense that he seemed particularly happy. It turned out that her father really didn't want them to be together.

Even though he didn't want to, he never uttered a single word about how good his father really was to him.

As Wan Ge was leaving, a handsome man stepped forward and placed something in her hand: "It's the same as before. If there's any danger, find an opportunity to fire a signal flare. No matter where you are, your brother will bring you home safely."

Wange nodded obediently. This was her older brother, who was three years older than her. Every time she went out, her brother would give her a signal flare to prevent her from encountering danger. Even when surrounded by a group of people, he would still have this worry.

Even if the signal flare was never used, he would still give it to her, just in case he really encountered some danger.

Her brother had spies all over the country, so wherever she found a suitable spot, someone would always be able to spot her signal flare.

“It’s not like I have other things to take care of, so I’ll go with you this time.”

Wan Ge nodded: "It's okay, with my sister-in-law by my side, she will protect me."

The man sighed softly: "You'd better not shout nonsense, lest you tarnish Miss Qin's reputation."

“I wasn’t making this up. My brother and sister-in-law were already engaged. If my brother hadn’t been worried about my sister-in-law’s safety, you two would have gotten married long ago.”

Jiang Wanqing patted her head helplessly, and only let go of the girl after seeing the Qin family's carriage arrive: "Go on, be careful."

Wan Ge quickly walked towards the carriage, and at that moment a girl lifted the curtain and peeked out.

Jiang Wanqing bowed to the girl and said, "I entrust my younger sister to Miss Qin's care."

"Don't worry, Young Master Jiang, I will definitely return your sister to you unharmed."

After saying goodbye to her brother, Wan Ge immediately got into the carriage.

Inside the carriage, looking at the girl who was the same age as his brother, there were many rumors in the capital that she was an old maid, but she seemed not to care at all, and continued to do what she was supposed to do.

Wan Ge looked at the girl in front of her and felt a little sad.
